This is a story of a man,

strong like the gates that hold the animals
wise as the eagle that soars
content as the land he did live
healthy as the fresh vegetables grown by a loving wife
playful as new liter of puppies

this his life

calloused hands out on the farm
early mornings tilling the fields
holding his child at night
hard are the days of work

this his life

now is over, last grain of sand
falling from the hourglass

he brought laughter
he brought happiness
he brought wisdom
he brought the way
he brought the truth

this is an honest man
